Hello everyone

I 'll be moving to Erbil in a couple of months. I am trying to get an Idea about the standard of living, and social life over there. Can anyone please help me with following queries?

I am planing to rent a single bedroom fully furnished/semi furnished apartment in a decent, not so conservative locality. Approximately how much I ll have to pay for that? Are their any better options?

Can I Drive in Iraq on my Bahraini driving license?

How's is the night life in Iraq? Are their any bars/Pubs?

Thanks

you are most welcome to Erbil.
you can hire a small flat for about 1000 or even more, you can drive in Erbil, there are bars, nightclubs especially in Ainkawa a small town where the christian minorities live, or you can find bars in the hotels.
It is safe to outside in the north, Erbil, suleimaniya, Dohuk, but there are no nocuturnal activities and most of the shopping centers are closed down by 11 or 12.
